Portal talk:New York (state)

Portal blurbs
As I mentioned on the Featured portal discussion page, a few of the portal blurbs seemed to need a little expert attention. The ones that jumped out at me on a quick read were Transportation in New York (the first two sentences are rather clumsy, and it might be better to link transportation some other way), New York Islanders (seems to end abruptly), George Westinghouse, Jr. (seems to end abruptly) & Paul Jackson Pollock (mentions marriage twice, ends rather abruptly).

DYK addition
Could someone add Islip Speedway to the DYK section? Thanks. ~EdGl  (talk)  14:04, 23 April 2010 (UTC)

DEC information is very lacking
I wanted to see what information there is on the NYSDEC, and found it to be very sparce and very generalized. I think I have an idea about how to handle it. I think the DEC page should provide links to new Wikipedia pages that would cover the lands and forests, and fish and game, among others. Also the story needs to be told about how NY came to NOT have the US Forest Service involved in managing our forests. DavidHenrickson (talk) 15:46, 4 March 2012 (UTC)

Notice from the Portals WikiProject
WikiProject Portals is back!

The project was rebooted and completely overhauled on April 17th, 2018. Its goals are to revitalize the entire portal system, make building and maintaining portals easier, support the ongoing improvement of portals and the editors dedicated to this, and design the portals of the future.

As of May 2nd, 2018, membership is at 60 editors, and growing. You are welcome to join us.

There are design initiatives for revitalizing the portals system as a whole, and for improving each component of portals. So far, 2 new dynamic components have been developed: Template:Transclude lead excerpt and Template:Transclude random excerpt.

Tools are provided for building and maintaining portals, including automated portals that update themselves in various ways.

And, if you are bored and would like something to occupy your mind, we have a wonderful task list.

From your friendly neighborhood Portals WikiProject. Hope to see you there. Sincerely,    &mdash; The Transhumanist   07:39, 2 May 2018 (UTC)
